PFMs Healthy Living: New Beginnings

I think this letter speaks volumes about setting your intentions to show a little more love and appreciation to the body that you have. What would your letter say to that sweet bod you've got? These past few weeks had me thinking a lot about inner strength and being thankful for who I am and what makes me, me- particularly with my latest endeavor laid out ahead.  

I have some exciting news to share...I'm on the path to creating a new biz as a Holistic Health Coach! For those of you who don't know, I've always had an interest in nutrition and enjoy sharing this knowledge with those around me. Motivated by my health-conscious upbringing, my struggle with chronic disease, my genuine love of healthy food and my desire to help guide people toward elevated wellness, I officially committed to a formal training program! I'm currently enrolled at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition™ where I will earn a certification in July 2013. I will continue to bring you inspiration right here...but stay tuned because my goal is to combine my passion for fashion-filled healthy living with my education and ultimately be (happily) counseling others around food and lifestyle choices. 

I look forward to sharing my journey to wellness with you. We should all be given the tools to become our healthiest, most sparkly selves! And a big thank you in advance for your support. xoxo Becca

A Day in the Life: Life's a Beach

Labor Day has come and gone and now it seems like the weather has officially cooled down some.  whether we want it to or not, the summer is drawing to a close.  if you can't tell by now, i am deeply saddened to see that warm weather go, lol.  i have even considered moving to a warmer climate.  (i haven't officially given that idea up - it has just been pushed back on the timeline.) considering that that isn't happening anytime in the near future, i am going to remember the pic from above.  as the weather gets colder and our layers of clothing increase, i am going to be dreaming of what it felt to be laying on the beach watching my sons play in the water.  

this trip in particular was part of my last of summer hurrah.  i planned a day for us to go enjoy the beach one more time before the school year began and the season officially ended.    we chose a beautiful day and there were hardly any other people on the beach.  it brought me joy to watch my three boys play in the water.  that was exactly what i had hoped for all of us - time to connect with Mother Earth so that we could be healed by her warmth, cleansed by her water and renewed by her air.  we had a great time and they all told me that they were glad we went.  in the words of my four-year-old, "this was a great day."

...so as the weather reminds me of how un-summer it is, i will use this picture to bring all the summer memories back.  hopefully, it will keep me going until summer rolls around again! xo Sesheta
